Asphalt resurfacing will soon commence on approximately three kilometres of Anzac Avenue, with works scheduled to begin in late January 2026 along one of the region’s most heavily travelled arterial roads.

The $5.6 million project will target the stretch between Diamond Jubilee Way and Kinsellas Road East in Mango Hill through to Finnegan Street in Rothwell—a route that carries around 48,000 motorists daily. The comprehensive upgrade includes asphalt resurfacing and repairs, guardrail improvements, and a complete deck resurfacing of the Saltwater Creek bridge crossing.
Works are expected to be completed by mid-2026, weather and construction conditions permitting. Given the substantial traffic volumes along this corridor, the bulk of construction will take place at night, with occasional weekend and daytime works as required.
What Motorists Can Expect
Local residents and commuters should prepare for some disruption during the construction period. The night-time scheduling will help maintain traffic flow during peak hours while delivering essential road improvements.
The resurfacing works aim to improve road surface quality and reduce ongoing maintenance costs. By extending the road’s lifespan, the project addresses the needs of one of the area’s critical arterial roads serving the rapidly expanding communities of North Lakes, Mango Hill, and surrounding suburbs.
Part of Broader Regional Investment
This upgrade forms part of a much larger $7.2 billion investment in transport infrastructure across the North Coast region over the next four years. The funding envelope covers the local government areas of Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast, Noosa, and Somerset councils.
Within that broader allocation, $5.6 billion has been earmarked specifically for improving the safety and durability of roads across Queensland. The Anzac Avenue project is one of numerous initiatives designed to address road quality and safety concerns across the state.
Project Timeline and Traffic Management
Transport and Main Roads has indicated that efforts will be made to minimise inconvenience to motorists during construction. The decision to schedule most works at night reflects the challenges of maintaining traffic flow on a road carrying 48,000 vehicles daily.
Occasional weekend and daytime works will be required to complete certain aspects of the project, though the majority of disruptive activities will occur outside peak travel times.

While roadworks inevitably cause some inconvenience, the project represents a necessary investment in maintaining the quality and safety of infrastructure that tens of thousands of local residents rely on every day. The improvements should deliver smoother journeys and enhanced safety for motorists.
